Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian

A fun-filled sequel that dials everything – including the ridiculousness – up to 11, with some stellar performances, great effects, and genuinely funny moments, even if the plot is a bit cookie-cutter.

Night at the Museum

A fun-filled, cameo-packed advert for museums everywhere with plenty to enjoy, even if there isn't a huge amount of depth.

The Old Guard

A really well crafted take on the concept of immortality with exceptional action and some brilliant performances from the main cast.

High School Musical

A totally fine TV movie that had just enough star power and one great song, but it doesn't feel like it's ageing too well.

Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga

Who knew that Hollywood would manage to produce a movie that somehow does the ridiculous spectacle of Eurovision justice, whilst crafting an entertaining and surprisingly musical comedy in the process.

The Legend of Korra

A more-than-worthy successor to the brilliant The Last Airbender and a hugely imaginative show with a strong central core all of its own. With excellent world-building, brilliant characters, more mature themes, and some genuinely interesting, unique stories to tell, my only real issue is that it isn't twice (or four times!) as long.

Turning Red

An excellent coming-of-age story with great humour and solid characters, giving a modern spin on the classic tween comedy.

QI

A wonderful, revolving cast of great British comedians and personalities, set against a genuinely novel and interesting quiz format, make this a classic of modern television, regardless of whether Fry or Toksvig is sat in the big seat.

This House

A humorous skewering of modern politics, through the lens of a ridiculous period of British democracy that has some uncanny parallels to modern days.

Coriolanus

Terrible people do terrible things both in and to ancient Rome. Sounds awful, turns out to be incredibly riveting and surprisingly modern in terms of plot and pacing.

Set It Up

A totally typical rom-com with some genuinely funny, quirky moments and a decent cast, but it won't light your world on fire.

Artemis Fowl

An empty mess with the occasional moment where the genius of the books briefly shines through. Lacklustre.
